Jean the Hornmaster

The Celtic and Viking races are the inspiration for the products I produce and recreate. The craftsmanship of the Celts and the Vikings are the basis for my inspiration and creativity.

Like my ancestors before me my products are produced from traditional materials such as horn, antler, bone, leather and wood. The transformation from raw material to the fine beauty in the finished article can only be described as a magical creation through the hands of a skilled craftsman. I have worked with these products for a number of years and have never stopped learning and discovering more and more about the lost skills of craftsman of the past. I realize and appreciate just how talented and skilled these ancient craftsmen were.

I am Australian with Scottish origins. When working with horn, I feel I am in touch with my ancestors. The texture and the beauty of the horn in its multitude of colours ranging from deep black to blood red and pristine white, combined with the gold and silver colours of the bands, creates artifacts of practicality and beauty that will last a lifetime.

I have many other medieval products all lovingly crafted.

I live in Queensland, Australia. I try to make the items I work on equal to or as close to the quality of the craftsmen from yesteryear.
